Overview & Reviews

BMW subsidiary, Mini, resurrects an unforgettable old favorite with the release of the 2002 Mini Cooper. Available with either a 115-horsepower four-cylinder or a supercharged version of that engine worthy of 163 hp, the pint-sized but glamorous three-door hatchback features BMW-engineered suspension and steering and a base MSRP under 17 grand. Whether you're a 40-something hoping to relive earlier days, an autocross enthusiast or just the mild-mannered next-door neighbor, we expect that you'll run to the nearest BMW dealership in search of this coveted bundle of joy.

• Questionable interior ergonomics, limited first-year supply.

  enjoy the ride - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By king of love - December 30 - 10:00 am

  the car is fun to drive. be in. solid feel even on the highway. dont feel blown around. pleanty of room on the inside. insturements bright and beautiful. cornering lovely. power improves at higher rpm. around town with ac on a bit sluggish. but why not open the windows and the huge sunroof and let the fresh air and light in. that is the best. the premium stereo is a must especially with windows open and access to my mp3 player.

  well done, BMW - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By dbaichy - December 23 - 10:00 am

  A wonderful car. A truly invigorating, if not revoluationary, driving experience. The CVT is faboulous, and it truly feels like you are driving a BMW. Not bad for a car that can easily be kept around the 20 grand mark. No problems so far. I highly reccemend it with no regrets.

  My MINI has been my MAJOR headache - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By frankiej - December 23 - 10:00 am

  Bought my MINI a few weeks ago because of all the excitement. Thought it might even let me do well with the ladies. Well, after the exhaust literally fell off my car the first wek I knew I was in for a problem. The car drifts to the right constantly. The engine makes a funny sound. Blah.

  The wait is over! - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By NekoWoman - November 4 - 10:00 am

  A lot like my folks BMW in ride & handling. Most comfortable seats ever - even my father 6’ agreed. Suspension is tight - not harsh - it provides great road feel. It’s a drivers car - not a squishy cruiser. It takes a while to get used to the rubbernecking & comments. Folks dont know MINI is a car company - the refrain "But who makes that?" after Ive said MINI might get old, but I dont mind now. Its a great car - dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Its a fitting sibling to BMW -- BMW might be the athlete of the family and get straight As, but MINI will get the dates and have the fun and still manage to make the honor roll...

  Fun to drive!!!!! - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By Big Don - September 29 - 10:00 am

  Im 66" tall and the Mini fits me fine.Plenty of room to shift without my knees hitting the steering wheel. Handles like a go cart. Rides like a 3 series BMW.

  The Mini is a full-sized car! - 2002 Mini Cooper
  By minica - August 11 - 10:00 am

  My mini is parked daily next to my 1995 Toyota Tercel... the Mini is about 2 inches taller and wider, but it is about 2 feet shorter. It amazes me that people have commented that they are tired of seeing the tires of other cars, because the drivers perspective in a Mini is the same as that of any other sedan ... actually the Mini sits a bit higher than my Tercel. When I take people for test drives, they comment to me about how surprised they are at the roominess of the car.
